This one starts with a guy named Ryo on a school trip. It’s late, the halls are quiet, and he’s just managed to sneak into the girls’ rooms. His mission? Simple but huge, to finally kiss his crush, Hina.

Just as he’s about to make his move, they hear voices and footsteps coming right toward the door. Without even thinking, they dive into the only hiding spot available, a super cramped closet. So there they are, squeezed between probably some spare blankets and who-knows-what, listening to their friends chat just inches away. Needless to say, the kiss didn’t happen.

That failed moment actually brought them together. They started dating right after that trip, and everything was great. Well, almost everything. That whole closet incident sparked something in Ryo. He became kinda obsessed with finding sneaky, semi-public spots around school for their moments. For Hina, it was the one weird thing about their otherwise perfect relationship.

During club activities one day, Hina gets a note from Ryo telling her to meet him in the sports equipment shed. She goes there, and finds him in that dim, dusty room.
